pmwww | | Virtual Forums Advertising (28th Oct 08 at 8:16am UTC) | | After several 5 long months of not updating it, nor even accessing it I felt like I should re-do the whole skin, as well as the boards. I don't think I have all the boards done, So if you could tell me what would be interesting to add into the boards that would be awesome! 
It is now strictly vForums, I did have other forum service advertising open, but why do that? This is vForums, so I deleted out the the other categories/boards and left vForums up.

Thanks,

pmwww | | Re: Virtual Forums Advertising (29th Oct 08 at 2:34am UTC) | | Its supposed to be plain and simple  I don't want it to complicated, a much later on skin will be much better looking. I can fix that, that's easy to do, I just have to strip out the outline, and it will be black.
Do you have anymore for like the boards or anything? | |

pmwww | | Re: Virtual Forums Advertising (29th Oct 08 at 2:46am UTC) | | add this code in your global headers, it will probably add some 3-D effects
<style type="text/css">
.window1, .window2 {
border-left: #C1B4D3;
border-top: #C1B4D3;
}
</style> | |

Don't you have to put "color" in the code? Like
<style type="text/css">
.window1, .window2 {
border-top: 1px solid
border-color: #C1B4D3;
border-left: 1px solid
border-color: #C1B4D3;
}
</style>
Don't do much coding but I think it needs something like that  | |

Guest | | Re: Virtual Forums Advertising (31st Oct 08 at 8:47pm UTC) | | I like the banner area. It has a pretty professional feel for the most part. The skin is pretty neat, organization wise, but I'm not a big fan of the monochromatic theme. Especially considering you have two colors (gold, blue) in your banner that you don't use for the rest of the skin. I would recommend implementing them somewhere into the skin for continuity's sake, and because i think that gold and purple complement eachother nicely.
As for the content, I don't think its missing anything that an advertising forum should have. But it doesn't really stand out to me. This is completely optional, but i would recommend some hook board or feature to attract more members.
7/10. I see its a new forum, so I won't comment about activity or anything. | |

pmwww | | Re: Virtual Forums Advertising (31st Oct 08 at 11:27pm UTC) | | Thanks, I will have to check that out, I did have the link gold but you could not see them The text on the banner has a black outline.
I can see what I can do. I do have a competition board, for "Forum of the month". I will probably add more 'Of the month boards in maybe in sub-boards.
Its not really new to be exact. Its just the first time I really worked this hard on it.
thanks for the rate | |

Guest | | Re: Virtual Forums Advertising (1st Nov 08 at 12:26am UTC) | | | Sure. When I meant new, i meant that there weren't many posts. And what links are gold? The links on the main page? If so then they seem like a very saturated gold. | |
